Quite simply put, this is a tournament where each user selects two famous fictional/non-fictional characters which they think could kick everyone else's arse, and have them fight against others in a single elimination tournament to the death!

In order to apply, please drop me a PM with the two characters who you want to represent you in the tournament, and be sure to keep that information to yourself so that you can retain the element of surprise. Ideally, I'd like to have 32 or 64 characters in this tournament. Here are the rules:

"<b>Entry of combatants is first-come, first-served</b>. If somebody has beaten you to your guy, I will contact you to name a second choice.

"<b>You may only enter two competitors.</b> Two per person.

"<b>You can change your entrant as often as you need to until signups are closed</b>. If you change your mind about who you want representing you, just PM me. Of course if you switch to someone who was picked ahead of you, I'll ask you to switch again.

"<b>You can't enter a collection of people/things</b>. If you enter a group of people (e.g., the Legion of Doom) I'll either narrow it down to one person (e.g., Lex Luthor) or make you do it over.

"<b>You may enter almost anyone to compete in the DDO Badass Character Deathmatch Tournament</b>. Fictional characters, celebrities, and public figures are largely fair game, but no political figures or unfamous people please.

"<b>Deities, giant robots, living planets and such are legal in the DDO Badass Character Deathmatch Tournament</b>. Note that even despite their power this provides no guarantee that they will win, though, so you might want to think twice about it, since this is as much a popularity contest as it is a battle who people think would win in a fight to the death.

"<b>Identities of the combatants are kept secret until the tournament begins. Please don't talk about your guy in the comments to this entry</b>.

"If you have questions or concerns, bug me.

Signups are open either until we reach 32 characters, or next week on Wednesday 9am British time.

you should study how the other games work before making one. 32-64 people is really optimistic for even an optimist. And you should make the sign up sheets. I can't be bothered, and I don't think many others would be too.

Epsilon: There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero... never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith.

16 people submitting 2 characters each. That's what I meant by 32 characters. And the only thing people necessarily need to do is just PM me with the names of two characters. And then afterwards vote in the rounds. The actual tournament structuring I'm doing myself.

Okay, change of rules somewhat. You can name the characters you want in this thread. Please write your name and the two characters you want to represent you in the sign up sheet below. Like I said, deadline is in theory a week, but if 8-16 users apply, then we can kickoff the tournament pretty soon.

We should definitely make this a street level deathmatch tournament. I think characters like Wolverine should probably be allowed, but the Hulk not. Anyone with the potential to destroy a city by themselves should be banned.

Since we were all going with fictional characters, I decided against using the killer Mercury/Chamberlain duo. Once you go Super Saiyan, you don't go back. You have to go all the way. Vegeta and Goku together... Good luck.

death from darksiders series was just my insurance for those to. why, because you can't kill something that is already dead.

I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons.
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason.
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices, son.
